This article deals with a possibility of how to determine a power dissipation in a rotating machine. It divides losses in three parts according to their origin – losses arising around the rotating disc, in bearings, and by a friction of a shaft surface due to viscosity. A precise determination of the power dissipation is important when evaluating the efficiency of the whole device. The procedur...

Laser speckle produced from a diffuse object can be used in determining the angular position of a rotating object. When the object rotates the backscattered speckle pattern, which changes continuously but repeats exactly with every revolution, is sampled by a suitably positioned photodetector. The photodetector output signal is periodic, and one period is stored in the memory as a reference. Sh...

The vibration analysis of rotating machinery can give an indication of the condition of potential faults such as unbalance, bent shaft, shaft crack, bearing clearance, rotor rub, misalignment, looseness, oil whirl and whip and other malfunctions. The diagnostics of rotor faults has gained importance in recent years. Many papers in the literature have dealt with single faults but normally, more ...

Performance and reliability of any rotating machine can be studied by proper dynamic analysis of the machine. In this regard, this paper presents the method to study the dynamic response of the shaft of a Pelton turbine due to the impact of water jet. Equations of motion for the bending vibration of Pelton turbine assembly, in two transverse directions, is developed by using Lagrange equation o...

Nearly all tractor PTO arrangements used today consist of a rotating mechanical shaft with two or more universal joints and splined couplings. Although this method of power transfer has been the standard for decades, it continues to be a hazard to farm workers. Commonly, PTO accidents involve the snagging of clothes, resulting in the victim being rapidly and violently drawn into (and around) th...
